What % tint do you have?

 

[Ferdball]

What % tint do you have?

18% on the back 5 windows, I forget what the front has. It seems really dark in the picture, but its not that bad.

I haven't seen another Cosmic Blue MS3 on the road except when I went home last Christmas (06) and got stuck next to one in Houston traffic. We should meet up and admire how much better looking and how much faster my car is than yours. lol(lol2)

What part of Houston? I grew up there out near Humble. Been out in SoCal for 20 years now...

 

[MS3-oholic]

I actually live in Beaumont, have to go through Houston to get there. What made you migrate to SoCal?

My wife grew-up in Huntington Beach.

We almost have enough for a mini meet.

Hey, if you guys need to get a dyno baseline before your next mod, there is a dyno day in Santee for $40.

Is that "The Dyno Shop"? I used them for my 71 vette and they are good folks.

 

[Ferdball]

That be the one.

Thats where I got my dyno done at. Looking to go back now that I have my CAI and Testpipe. If I could sell my R/C gas helicopter I would buy a manifold, downpipe, and CDFP. That would be a good dyno to see.

 

[2ManyCars]

Bummer. I'm gonna need to skip this one as I have family in town... Let me know how you do!

DESCRIPTION

When removing or replacing the crankshaft pulley on a 2.0L (Mazda3 only) or a 2.3L engine, be sure to follow the Workshop Manual procedures.

The crankshaft pulley is not keyed to the crankshaft, and when loosened, it may move out of position on the crankshaft. The engine MUST be re-timed whenever the crankshaft pulley bolt is loosened, removed, or replaced.

For normal aspirated engines, follow the Workshop Manual procedures and time the engine using Special Tools (Crankshaft Alignment Pin 303-507, Camshaft Alignment Timing Tool 303-465 and a standard M6 X 1.0 X 2.25
bolt).

For direct injection spark ignition engines, follow the Workshop Manual procedures and time the engine using Special Tools (Crankshaft Alignment Pin 303-507, Camshaft Alignment Timing Tool 303-1061 and a standard
M6 X 1.0 X 2.25 bolt).

Please refer to the Mazda Job Aid on MS3 under Training titled Engine Timing Verification and Correction LF2.0L and L3/L3T 2.3L for more information.

CAUTION: Engine damage will occur if the engine is not re-timed properly. Refer to applicable Workshop Manual (Section 01-10 - MECHANICAL - 2.0L (Mazda3 only) or 2.3L).

NOTE: Damage to an engine caused by not following proper Workshop Manual procedures may result in denial of warranty claims or back charges.
